One rainy morning in Jordan, I woke up early to see my father off to work at the hospital. As I was getting ready to leave for school, I noticed that it was raining heavily and the streets were flooded. Despite the bad weather, I made my way to school, trying to stay dry under my raincoat. However, everything seemed to go wrong as a tree fell on my umbrella and I got soaked. When I arrived at school, I was told that it was closed for the day, and I was taken to the staff room where I was given some hot tea and food. Later that evening, my mother came to pick me up and I was treated to my favorite dishes for dinner. Although I caught a slight cold and fever from being in the rain for too long, I realized that I could have avoided the whole misadventure if I had stayed indoors and thought about the situation more carefully.
